Do you realize that some of these children will repeat this on another child? Kids mimic what they see. So, the first time a little girl or little boy decides to play TSA agent and feels up the other, someone is going to be in big trouble.
Regardless of if they are still trying to blow up planes, this is a child! And even still, if it was an adult, last time I checked, the terrorist were Arabic muslims. Profile people, profile!

This is the US, remember? We're not allowed to profile. It is discriminatory and might offend somebody. Their rights would be infringed upon; can't have that, now can we?

Blame the people. Blame your neighbour. Even better, blame yourself. Then, after your done - DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

2 million civilian deaths was the price of your blind vengeance. Of course the government used your pain and suffering after 911 to orchestrate their own agenda, but you let them. You let them while cheering for vendetta, looking for a single guy in a freaking cave. To me, that is simply astounding. It was astounding to see an entire population of a country, that once was so great, just wither away in vengeance and intellectual poverty, only to empower their already rotten government, to perform more injustice, upon the injustices of 911.

If you are unhappy with TSA's procedures, then take it up with TSA. Write letters, call your local and federal government agencies and take some action. Don't go on a website and scream how outraged you are when you likely have no plans to do anything about it.

The TSA wouldn't stand a chance if they deployed themselves beyond airports, such as federal highways or train stations. We would have daily news reports about checkpoints getting destroyed just like we hear in Iraq or Afghanistan and most of us wouldn't shed a tear for them in fact many of us would celebrate in hearing the news.

I'm not sure if I agree with this entirely.
I think if it was marketed to the public in general properly, and reinforced just how much it was vital for their "safety" and how "we're at war" and how we wont "let the terrorists win, not in OUR America" and how by giving up these small liberties we will again have "mission accomplished", then I think it would be accepted by the majority of people who would buy into it all.

As I have pointed out in prior post it does fall under every dictionary's definition of "molestation",

Absolutely, yes, I do.

I'm still trying to work out if there is a difference between the 2.

Absolutely not.

In a way, I do.

Absolutely true, however, being an insider, let me tell you this much, there was no way, even had the entire populace of America marched on Washington, that America wasn't bringing war to the middle east. One need only look as far as Valerie Plame to know that.
There was NO stopping that war machine. And yes, some of us knew from the start how it would end...we let our words fall upon deaf ears....ears we had no control of influence upon. Not for lack of trying, but for lack of wanting to be heard.

They are not fading into existence my friend, they are gone and will never come back....think about it, we are in a world where "strongly worded letters" won't cut the mustard, yet, it is our only recourse. Why? Because we are in lose / lose politics. If we go further than strongly typed letters, we look to be heretics and are spurned. If we do, then, we achieve no results.
The Government was not stupid, nor all the banking conglomerates. They knew, and devised, to make sure that the American population, by and large, WOULD over-extend themselves by way of credit and debt. "Give them all the American Dream" they said....which they did, to the point of extremely high risk upon those who could never have hoped to afford it, along with their families. Now their lives and their souls are sold to the Banks and the Government and they have far too much to lose by following the righteous path. Which, is what it always boils down to, having too much to lose to do something.
With all of that said, I agree with you wholeheartedly, and thanks for that.
